Using software like Flash is part of it, but I also need advanced skill with the various software programs and in the methods of graphic design in general. I have a base of knowledge, but I need to be able to do more than someone's friend's high school student who learns Photoshop tricks in his spare time. If I expect to get paid a decent amount of money, I need to have the skills to do the work that make that payment worthwhile. There are a lot of things I can do well right now, but I need to be able to do more and do it better.
